Locations[change | change source]

In the United States, 38 states have some form of cyber high school, according to CBS News.[1] These schools often include giving a computer, internet connection, textbooks and cyber high school software.

Teachers[change | change source]

Cyber high school teachers are sometimes able to work from home,[2] depending upon the state's cyber curriculum. If the state is against the idea then the tutor has to go at a special location to be able to teach.

Purpose[change | change source]

Cyber high school appeals to all students but works especially well for those students with needs that can not be met in a traditional classroom, such as students who are ill, homebound students, students who travel, or special education students.[3]
